North And South Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHII| O sweet are tropic lands for waking dreams | A |
| There time and life move lazily along | B |
| There by the banks of blue and silver streams | A |
| Grass sheltered crickets chirp incessant song | B |
| Gay colored lizards loll all through the day | C |
| Their tongues outstretched for careless little flies | D |
| And swarthy children in the fields at play | C |
| Look upward laughing at the smiling skies | D |
| A breath of idleness is in the air | E |
| That casts a subtle spell upon all things | F |
| And love and mating time are everywhere | E |
| And wonder to life's commonplaces clings | F |
| The fluttering humming bid darts through the trees | G |
| And dips his long beak in the big bell flowers | H |
| The leisured buzzard floats upon the breeze | G |
| Riding a crescent cloud for endless hours | H |
| The sea beats softly on the emerald strands | I |
| O sweet for quiet dreams are tropic lands | I |
